The Foxhorn Dilemma


Alright, so the due date has been pushed back, and lets face it, we all knew my first print of the fox was too big. So, I'm just going to make a whole new plate and reprint that sucker.

Anyway, which one of these is more appealing? (The alcohol content can be added or taken away)

2.25" Fox


















2.25" Fox, 2" label (the original label size)
2.25" Fox, 1.75" label
2.125"Fox, 1.75" label


I think the second to last one looks best? Or maybe the last? 
Idk...its crazy how much difference that 0.125 makes

Also, this is what my "package" is: 

I think the circle would look better than a rectangle for this design.

  1. the rectangle is too big it needs to be smaller (wide and thin) i like the 2.125" fox and the 1.75" label

  3. So sense we have a little more time, you should incorporate the circle in your etching design so that it fits the same way as your original idea but smaller fox and circle. Get a longer plate if possible, add the circle at the bottom but overlapping the bottom of the fox, print, and tear away the edge of the square and the circle. Basically merge it.

  4. maybe, just for kicks try seeing what it would look like if the label mirrored the illustrations thin lined outline and gave it the same amount of exterior white border
